An appeal by the UK Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) to help thousands of Ukrainians fleeing The Conflict has raised £55 million in its first day
The total includes donations from The Queen , The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge, DEC said.
Hundreds of thousands of people donated to the humanitarian effort on Thursday.

More Than A Million people have fled Ukraine since Russian forces launched an invasion last Thursday.
Fighting is continuing with, with at least 47 civilians killed in the northern city of Chernihiv on Thursday and the shelling of a Nuclear Power plant.
DEC chief executive Saleh Saeed said The Committee was " extremely grateful" for the " huge generosity" of everyone who had donated to The Appeal .
The DEC was also " very grateful for the generous support of The Royal family" he added.
The Appeal was broadcast on all BBC TV and radio stations, ITV, Channel 4 . Channel 5 and Sky on Thursday.
Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington and Trigger Point actor Adrian Lester appeared in broadcasts publicising The Launch , while commercial radio appeals were voiced by Doctor Who star David Tennant .
Mr Saeed said that donations given through the DEC were " The Most effective way to get The Right assistance to The Right people".
" While wanting to collect clothes and other items for people in need is laudable, the things people give today may not be what people need tomorrow and aid workers say they can't use much of what is arriving. Donating through the DEC is The Most helpful way people can assist, " He Said .
He added that while it was an " astonishing amount" to raise on The First day of The Appeal , people were being urged to keep donating as " the needs is great and the response needed is likely to run into months and years".
DEC members, and local aid agencies working with them, are operating in Ukraine and in the neighbouring countries of Poland, Romania, Hungary, Moldova and Slovakia.
They are using The Money raised to provide trauma care, as well as providing medical treatment, food, water and shelter.
Tesco has announced it will donate £1 million to the Red Cross , one of the DEC charities, and has pledged to establish a scheme to match every pound donated by customers - up to a further £1 million.
